    a sign that says next move cafe

    Great new board game cafe for a chill weekend with friends and family when you need to stay indoors especially for this winter! This cafe has a great selection of games - I stayed here for a whole afternoon and played a bunch of games. They also serve snacks and drinks so if you get hungry you don't have to leave to find food! I loved that for the bubble teas they serve them in a sealed top that shaped like a face, super funny. Recommend this for a fun things to do in nyc that is indoors and won't break the bank! Hidden gem! Check out more recommendations on instagram: @alice.likes.food

    What a fabulous addition to Bensonhurst! The cafe is located upstairs. You will feel like you entered an after school club right as you climb your last step. We were immediately greeted with the sweetest worker who made our first stay so welcoming, explaining their promotions and finding a specific game for us. Admission was $10 Mondays-Thursdays, and then $12 Friday-Sunday for 3 hour gameplay. Whenever you buy, you gain points towards their rewards points system, which honestly felt so legit and cool. If it's your first time, take advantage of their 1st time welcome wheel, where you join their free rewards program in exchange for winning a free drink, fries, admission, and more! The board game selection was the best I've seen so far. I saw a lot of familiar games, with so many cool sounding new ones that I wish I had time to learn them all. The drinks were nothing special, but they tasted accurate to their names. My Medium Strawberry Green Tea ($5) made great accompaniment to my time there. A more unique factor was their food selection. There were some enticing picks, including kimbap. After school club, I'm telling you. Lastly, if you leave a honest review on Google, you can get a free item. I left with a cute sturdy merch tote bag. I felt like a kid all over again playing games here with friends. You will most definitely see myself coming back to play more games and try their snacks!

    Next Move Cafe is a hidden gem in Bensonhurst! I stumbled upon this place one day after eating dinner with a bunch of friends (when we couldn't find anything else to do but didn't want to go home quite yet) and it has been a staple ever since. They have a huge variety of board games, snacks, and drinks! Their iced peach black tea is a favorite of mine - dare I say even better than the other well known tea spots in the area? During my visits, I sampled the Cajun fries and the mozzarella sticks. They were both large portions and great for sharing with a group! I would definitely recommend this place for group gatherings, a bday party, or even a date night. The service is always great and the staff are more than happy to assist you with any board games you may need help with, and they will even bring your food/drink order over to you while you're gaming. Overall - The place is spotless, they have a large amount of board games all in excellent condition, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food/drinks are amazing. They even have merchandise for sale and a rewards program! Next Move Cafe is a diamond in the rough - definitely one of my favorite places in Bensonhurst. The only things I would recommend? More dessert options, and more events for locals to meet up!

    Been hearing about this place for years and finally came. It was pretty empty when we arrived at 2pm but was packed by 3pm. They price by the day of the week. You get 3 hours of play time for the price. It was $10 for me. There wasn't a welcome wheel when I went. I'm not a board game person so can't comment on their variety and selection. I was happy playing multiple games while there. More importantly I think having an establishment like this in the neighborhood is really healthy. It's not that expensive and is a proper fun activity for teenagers. This is a great activity in between lunch and dinner or after dinner. I see they have a private room. Wonder if you can/need to book that in advance. Areas of improvement: The decor can be freshened up. Everything seems a bit old and worn. I was slightly disturbed hearing them prepare some of the drinks. I couldn't see what exact drink or step they were doing but I kept on thinking there's a flood going on. My friend didn't like the smell of their cleaning supplies. It made the playing area smell like a bathroom (it didn't bother me). I also wish they would label the shelves with game type so it'll be easier to browse around. I'm not familiar with games so can't just grab n go. I need to stare and read through. People are generally civilized. Not sure how they keep track of what time people come in (or if they do at all). Tables aren't assigned so don't think they track like that. My group left before 3 hours. I think if they give a sign with arrival time and come around when 15 min left it'll help with tracking. Also about timing, perhaps offer additional time options. I heard this place is opened by a Hong Konger.

    They have CATAN!

    So happy to have found a great board game cafe in Brooklyn. Very close to the train so it was easy to get to. The food and drinks are great, I really enjoyed the peach green tea. The staff is also very nice and friendly and provide you with quick service.

    Lots of games to choose from

    A new gem in the neighborhood! $10 for 3 hours of board game. There are a lot of games to choose from. It's a great way to spend an afternoon with your friends. The place is spacious with a lot of adorable decorations. There are also 2 party rooms that fits a big crowed (like 12 ppl)!!

    This is my favorite board game cafe! Great atmosphere, great prices, and a great menu! I always bring or recommend my friends to come here if they're looking for a good time. :)

    $10 for 3 hours for board games without going into the city works for me. Clean and cute cafe with quick snacks and bubble tea. Highly recommended! I only played monopoly deal but seems like it has large amount of board games and a 3D Catan

    Collection of board games.

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! Friendly staff and hospitable owners. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to sit back and relax with your group of friends. They have over 100's of board games and a drinks/snacks menu that caters to everyones taste. Great atmosphere for any occasion. All this for $10 admission fee (Drinks/Snacks additional charge) and unlimited play!
